First Line Support  – Sequence Engineer & Service Mix (SMIX) Lead

First Line Support NXE (FLS) is the troubleshooting organization within the EUV Factory, responsible for supporting the Make, Qualification, Recovery, and Install phases of EUV systems. Within FLS, the Sequence Engineering team acts as the central coordinator for Special & Ordinary Service Actions, Service Sequences, and cross-competency execution plans. The FLS NXE Sequence Engineering team is the technical authority for Service Sequences within EUV Factory. The team ensures Service Actions can be executed safely, efficiently and first-time-right by connecting manufacturing execution, service strategy and sequence development.

As a Sequence Engineer & SMIX Lead, you combine deep sequence expertise with strong stakeholder management capabilities. You are the go-to expert for complex Service Actions and use your operational experience to influence Service Mix quality, sequence readiness and structural improvement initiatives across EF Factory.

You serve as the bridge between Manufacturing, FLS Competencies, System Delivery, PE, Shopfloor teams, Program Management, and D&E Sequence organizations. You drive sequence readiness, support complex escalations, improve execution quality, and ensure learnings are translated into structural improvements across the EUV Factory. This role combines technical expertise, operational leadership, and stakeholder management without direct hierarchical authority. This aligns with the team's vision to become the engineering SPOC for Service Actions and to drive SMIX maturity across NXE products.
